Tomorrow is Veterans day, thank you to all my fellow veterans for their service. I’ll celebrate with a free breakfast at a local restaurant then range time with family and a fellow veteran.
My oath didn't expire at ETS,
Going out for a free meal isn't my thing.
I will, however, fly both my US and US Army flags tomorrow.
I don’t really hide it, but I don’t brag on it. To each their own. I always feel kinda foolish when at an event and folks ask vets to stand. I rarely do unless my wife, who is also a vet, stands too.Anyone else try to hide the fact they are a veteran on Veterans Day?
I don’t don’t want any fanfare for needng a job and getting one from the place that rarely turns anyone down.

I don't hide it, but I don't advertise it, either. I don't feel I should be honored for something I consider a duty.Anyone else try to hide the fact they are a veteran on Veterans Day?

I hear you. But when I got out of the Army, in the mid-80s, jobs where hard to come by in my parts of Missouri. I was able to land a job, albeit not great pay, within a week after my ETS. Mostly due to the manager thought highly of veterans. My platoon Sgt. instilled some fear in me too by saying, "All that waits for you out there are soup lines, better re-up!" So I figured I needed all the help I could get in landing a job.Anyone else try to hide the fact they are a veteran on Veterans Day?
